Chen Qing drew his sword and shouted to the 36,000 soldiers: "Since Jingkang, the Jurchen cavalry have trampled our homeland, the imperial court has been annihilated, the people's families have been destroyed, our parents have been massacred, our wives and daughters have been insulted, the shame has made us
We have been burdened by two generations, but today we stand up. Let us use our swords to seek justice for our deceased relatives. Let us use the blood of Jurchens to wash away the shame. Brothers, raise your swords and let the sky bear witness to this battle.
Must win! Must win!”
"This battle must be won! Must be won!"
Angry shouts resounded throughout the wilderness, and the soldiers of the Song army were excited. Thirty-six thousand swords were raised to the sky, forming a sea of cold light in the sun.
The morale of the Song army was high, but the Jurchen cavalry side was deserted, with no enthusiasm at all. The Jurchen cavalry was obviously shocked by the opponent's momentum. Each soldier had a complicated look in his eyes, thinking about his own fate.
Wan Yan Huo Nu narrowed her eyes. He could see Chen Qing. Sure enough, they met on the battlefield. He knew very well that this was probably his last chance. In the future, Chen Qing would become more powerful and would not personally lead the army to fight again.
He immediately ordered to the left and right: "Order Captain Pucha Asawan to attack the enemy's left wing, and order Marshal Hu Shidabie to take the lead in attacking against the enemy's right wing. I will concentrate my superior forces to annihilate the Song army's main formation!"
Wan Yanhuo Nu drew her sword and shouted, "Blast the drum and attack!"
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The earth-shattering sound of war drums sounded, which was the order to attack.
The leader of the left wing, Hu Shidabie, waved his mace and shouted: "Attack!"
Ten thousand Khitan cavalry and Xi cavalry suddenly rushed out and charged towards the enemy formation. This was a common practice. When the Jin soldiers attacked, the Donghu people must be the first to charge to meet the Song army's crossbow formation. The Khitan people
The Hexi people also accepted their fate. There were a thousand sword and axemen behind them to supervise the battle. Once they fled back to fight, they would be killed by the swordsmen and axemen.
Moreover, if they were killed in battle, their family members would be converted into civilians and gain the status of Jin Kingdom civilians. Anyway, they would die if they advanced or retreated. In comparison, they would rather be killed by the Song army's arrows.
The dense horseshoes hit the ground, dust flew up, and the earth trembled. Ten thousand cavalry were like a rushing flood, sweeping towards the Song army in a mighty manner.
Liu Cui's army went out first, and his army began to quickly deploy. Five hundred soldiers launched five hundred bed crossbows, aiming at the galloping enemy troops. The bed crossbows had been loaded and stringed in advance, and only the final launch was needed. The key was
It can only shoot once. The cavalry on the battlefield is extremely fast and there is no time to load arrows for it to shoot a second time.
Behind the five hundred soldiers were 80,000 spears. These spears were captured from Yichuan County and Wuren Road. They were densely arranged in a long snake array one foot wide. The spears were tilted upward at an angle of 60 degrees, with their tails inserted deeply.
Entering the ground, this is also the traditional tactics of the Central Plains army, using spear formations or carts to offset the most powerful first wave of impact of the nomadic cavalry.
At the same time, behind the spear formation, ten thousand cavalry raised their divine arm crossbows together, waiting for the enemy to approach.
The left-wing cavalry of the Jin soldiers gradually approached. When they entered five hundred steps, Liu Cui shouted, "Fire the crossbow!"
Five hundred soldiers knocked down the hanging knives at the same time, and 2,500 jackdaw arrows were fired at the rushing enemy troops with great force. Hundreds of soldiers running in front fell over one after another, and many horses behind were tripped, and one after another
Rolled to the ground.
When a group of horses are running, once they fall to the ground, they are almost killed. Especially when tens of thousands of horses are running, those who fall to the ground will be trampled into pulp, and no one will be spared.
After firing a round of crossbow bolts, the five hundred soldiers of the Song Army did not care about the result. They immediately dragged their crossbows and crawled through the dense formation of spears, rushing towards the rear of the army...
Two thousand five hundred jackdaw arrows directly or indirectly caused the death of nearly 800 enemy troops, but the Khitan and Xi people's cavalry were not affected at all. Once the horses began to rumble, they could not turn around and could only accept their fate.
He ran forward without slowing down at all. If he was not careful, he would be knocked over by the horse behind him.
The enemy's forward cavalry was getting closer and closer. At the same time, the Jurchen army's center and right cavalry also launched at the same time. They were also experienced and they launched only a little later than the forward army.
However, the central army and the right-wing cavalry did not attack frontally, but surrounded the Song army's target in a left and right arc.
"God's arm crossbow ready!"
Liu Cui shouted, and the first drum sounded. Ten thousand soldiers raised their crossbows with a 30-degree angle, and aimed their cold arrows at the rushing enemy troops.
The enemy's forward had reached the killing range of 250 steps. "Fire the arrows!" Liu Cui shouted again.
The second tom-drum sounded, and the three thousand soldiers at the front took the lead in firing arrows. Three thousand crossbow arrows rose into the air and shot at the rushing enemy troops. The Khitan cavalry raised their shields to meet them, but there were still pieces of cavalry being captured.
The arrow hit and the horse fell.
The three thousand cavalry in the middle also fired crossbow arrows, and then the four thousand cavalry in the rear also fired powerful crossbow arrows. Ten thousand crossbow arrows shot into the enemy group like a storm. The enemy cavalry fell down one by one while running.
The army gradually became thinner.
It is impossible to count the specific number of casualties, but it can be seen from visual inspection that at least about 30% of the casualties were killed.
The Song Army cavalry did not continue to shoot. They mounted their divine arm crossbows and took out their short spears to prepare for battle. The 80,000 spears in front of them shone with cold light. They were preparing to deliver the final blow to the Khitan people. They could not avoid the spear formation.
, we can only hit him forcefully.
Getting closer and closer, one hundred steps, sixty steps and thirty steps, Song Jun could clearly see the opponent's face distorted by fear.
The Khitan cavalry running in front screamed in fear, but they could not stop. They were carried by a huge force and rushed towards the spear array.
With a "boom", the war horses and cavalry crashed into the spear array. The sharp spears pierced the bodies of the war horses and cavalry. Blood burst out in an instant. Unknown how many people and horses were pierced by the spears and died tragically on the spot. The huge
The force of the impact forcefully knocked open three large gaps in the spear formation, allowing the cavalry behind to break through the formation.
"kill"
Liu Cui shouted, and the 10,000 Song troops suddenly launched and attacked the 5,000 cavalry who broke through the spear formation.
Chen Qing also coldly ordered: "Send the whole army to attack!"
"Woo"
The horn of the attack sounded, and Chen Qing shouted, "Follow me and fight!"
"Kill"
Five thousand of the most elite Huben troops and a thousand scout troops followed Chen Qing to kill the main enemy force.
Wanyan Huonv shot an arrow at Chen Qing while running. Chen Qing waved Fang Tianhua's halberd and flew the cold arrow away. He stared at Wanyan Huonv coldly. Both sides had the idea of killing
The opponent's general led the enemy to a rout.
At the last moment, the cavalry from both sides rushed forward to protect the commander from being hit by the cavalry.
The one who rushed to the front was Deputy Commander Lu Gui. He was a veteran general who joined Chen Qing's army in Linyou County. He held a long-handled copper hammer weighing 40 kilograms. Years of fierce battlefield battles gradually made him
As he matures and becomes more powerful in martial arts, he is currently the deputy commander of Chen Qinghu's army.
He swung his long-handled copper hammer and smashed the heads of three enemy horses with "Pop! Pah! Pah!", but his horse was also killed by the enemy's horse. The powerful impact knocked Lu Gui flying.
, but the copper hammer did not let go.
Soldiers on both sides screamed, and dozens of people were killed on the spot. "Lu Gui, are you dead?" Chen Qing shouted and asked.
"The humble job is not dead!"
Lugui has rough skin, thick flesh, hard bones, and is covered in heavy armor. It will not be easy for him to die.
"Follow me if you're still alive!" Chen Qing swung his halberd and stabbed diagonally.
"Damn it, even if I don't want to die, the King of Hell can't take me away!"
Lu Gui struggled to stand up with the handle of the hammer, feeling that his internal organs were churning. He endured the discomfort, grabbed a war horse, got on his horse, and followed Chen Qing towards the thickest part of the enemy's army.
